First blood in the Champions League quarter-final second-leg went the way of Real Madrid, despite Ederson’s heroics in the Man City goal.
The returning Kyle Walker had played Vinicius Junior onside as Los Blancos broke, and when the ball found its way to Rodrygo it looked to be a certain goal.
The Brazilian fluffed his lines at the first attempt with Ederson pulling off a point-blank save, however, the ball went straight back to the Real striker who made no mistake with his second shot, silencing the Etihad Stadium in the process.
Rodrygo gives Real Madrid the lead at the Etihad! ?
